N.milii sexing....opinions wanted please :)

I know these N.milii sexing questions get old but working my way back through dozens of posts there still doesn't seem to be a clear way to do this especially in young adult animals. Anyway, for your perusal my milii, it's about 8 months old I believe and around 15 g.

Opinions?

The one thing that stands out to me (and perhaps those who have looked at lots of animals can opine on this....) is that when the tail is held some ways there seems to be two distinct bulges in the posterior bulge. I tried to capture it in the pic but its a 3 dimensional thing and perhaps not as distinct as I have seen in some positively male animals.

Correct me if I am wrong but in sexed animals the male aninmals tail seems to almost "standoff" the caudal peduncle verses females for whom the tail bulge seems "squeezed in" between the tail and body. Again, I have only seen a few animals in person and perhaps its just so much more obvious that way....
